Academic Bank of Credit (ABC ID) number is as important as Aadhaar number for all students if they are pursuing graduation or post graduation. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has urged the students to register themselves as soon as possible, as this ID will play an important role in the transfer of credits in inter-disciplinary education and optional subjects. The UGC tweeted in this regard and urged all the educational institutions to implement the process of awarding marks based on ABC ID. In its tweet, UGC says, “All educational institutions should register on ABC portal. Also efforts should be made to facilitate the transfer of credits to all the students. So far two crore students from 1 thousand 597 institutions across the country have created ABC ID.
This includes 30 lakh students from Maharashtra. All the universities, educational institutes and colleges have started classifying the marks of the students in the 'ABC' account. It is a matter of pride that Maharashtra has taken the lead in this, Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University of Nashik is ranked fourth in the country and Savitribai Phule Pune University is ranked fifth in the country.
What is ABC ID?
As we can withdraw the amount deposited in the bank account anywhere and anytime. Similarly, the credits obtained by the students will be deposited in the Academic Bank of Credit through this ID. An educational institution can use this credit when a student wants to graduate. Students can open ID online by visiting the website.
This will be beneficial..

- Grading process of favorite or skill oriented courses will be simplified
- A student returning with a 'gap' can use the bank credit again
- Credit can be obtained from any educational institution in the country
